Description

FATIMID: al-Qa'im, 934-946, AR light dirham (1.03g), [Sijilmasa], AH(3)27, A-693F, Nicol (type B1), this appears to be the first known silver coin of al-Qa'im tentatively assigned to Sijilmasa, as there is no mint name between al-dirham and sana, whereas his normal silver would have the mint al-Mahdiya, the only reported mint for this type, between those two words; some weakness on both sides; probably unique, VF, RRR. Cf. Nicol-199 for a similar example with date off flan, weight 1.10g.

Estimate: USD 200-250
